Other than that, I only partially disagree with the rest of what you said. Christianity IS in some part a democracy, at least it is between people. God is the ultimate authority, but try and find 2 people who can agree on what God is saying. I AM trying my best to do what God is telling me to do. But it is a work in progress, and I can only take one step at a time.

Democracy is a worldly system: it has no place in the Church (by which I obviously mean the body of Christ). Also, it doesn't matter whether there are others who agree, it only matters what God actually says.
I think the concern just about everyone here has is with the possibility that you are spending so much of your time not in fellowship with other believers, not in a place where you are being equipped to do the work of serving God, not in a place where you can grow and mature in Christ. There is never any good that will come of that. It would be better for you to spend your time in a local church, allow yourself to be fed the word of God and, while you're doing that, learn to hear God's voice and listen for Him to tell you where you need to be and what your place in the body of Christ is.
